Rosa Salazar is starring in a new one-hour Sci-Fi series for Amazon studios called Undone. It uses cutting edge Rotoscope animation technology to tell the story of Alma, a dissatisfied San Antonio daycare worker who survives a car crash, only to realize she now has an unusual relationship with time and seeks to solve the mystery of her father’s death.

The advanced animation technology Rotoscope takes place when animators sketch colors and texture over each frame of recorded digital video. Season 1 of Undone consists of eight episodes that will debut on Amazon Prime later this year, but no premiere date has been set.
